UBC THEATRE STUDENTS and interdisciplinary artists Jack Mosher and Nico Pante are not ones to sit around and wait for work to come their way.

They’re preparing to debut a large-scale new work called Loose Assemblage, an experimental theatre piece they created around the feeling of disconnect they’ve found to be prevalent amid Vancouverites.

Loose Assemblage weaves together theatre and dance in an exploration of the desire for connection. That search becomes more and more absurd and dreamlike, as characters attempt to shed themselves, escape dysfunctional family structures, become other animals, and find “normalcy”.

The pair’s unique process invites emerging artists from diverse backgrounds to collaborate and experiment with voice, body, and design.

In the process, they’re forging their own kind of connection—not just between art forms, but between people. You can find more info here.
